Reported risk: Lodningarna i produkten har en för hög halt av bly (uppmätt värde: upp till 71,2 viktprocent). Kabelns plastmaterial har en för hög halt av bis(2-etylhexyl)ftalat (DEHP) (uppmätt värde upp till 0,58 viktprocent). Den har också en för hög halt av kortkedjiga klorparaffiner (SCCP) (uppmätt värde upp till 0,28 viktprocent). Bly utgör en risk för miljön. DEHP utgör en risk för människors hälsa och miljön. SCCP är beständiga i miljön, är giftiga för vattenlevande organismer vid låga koncentrationer och bioackumuleras hos vilda djur och människor, vilket utgör en risk för människors hälsa och miljön.

Product Name (original English): Epilateur Visage Flawless
Risk Description (original English): The solders in the product have an excessive concentration of lead (measured value: up to 71.2 % by weight). The plastic material of the cable has an excessive concentration of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) (measured value up to 0.58% by weight). It also has an excessive concentration of amount of short-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) (measured value up to 0.28 % by weight).
Lead poses a risk to the environment. DEHP poses a risk to human health and the environment. SCCPs persist in the environment, are toxic to aquatic organisms at low concentrations and bio-accumulate in wildlife and humans, posing a risk to human health and the environment. Prolonged exposure to them through the skin may cause cancer.
